Disc brakes

Im sure its been asked many, many times before, but honestly, what would it take to convert rear drums to discs. As in money, parts, and time. Ive looked around the interwebz and cant find anything on everything that it would take to do it.

I do a conversion, the caliper brackets are 235.00 the rest of the stuff varies based on what you can get- hard brake lines, backing plates, brackets, hand brake cables, calipers, pads. |I recommend you DO NOT get used calipers that will lead to tears; you can buy loaded calipers reman from napa or autozone for under 200.

email is best if you want the brackets. john@powellraceshop.com. More genuine Powell hardcore race parts....





backing plate not installed for trial fit/picture purposes

Powell seems to be the best way to go at this project, but there is also SSBC that makes a kit. Either way it is probably gonna cost you over a grand to do
